Meet Me At Midnight

Chpt 3: My Hero

Adrien had come over to her house to work on their project. Adrien is in my house. She internally screamed. He was sitting on her chaise with his notebook on his lap.

"Uh. I'll go get snacks." She said setting her notebook on the chaise next to him. She proceeded to go downstairs to grab a plate of croissants and brought them to her room. As she walked in, he lifted his head and smiled.

"Are those croissants?" He asked, mouth basically watering. Marinette giggled.

"The finest in Paris." She teased, placing the plate on a small table in front of the chaise. She grabbed her notebook and took her place next to Adrien. "So. What's the prompt again?" She asked. He looked down at his paper.

"What makes a relationship? Whether it's friendly or romantic?" He looked at the paper weird, "This is a weird question." He laughed reaching for a croissant.

"It is." Marinette thought. What makes a relationship? She'd never been romantically involved with anyone, she's had friends, but none have been true enough that she still had them today. "Can I be honest?" She nervously tucked a piece of hair behind her ear, "I don't really know." Adrien chuckled, making Marinette heat up a little with embarrassment.

"Honestly me too. I don't have much experience at all." He rubbed the back of his neck nervously. Marinette giggled.

"Wait you're serious?" She pressed.

"Yeah..." he let out a nervous chuckle. "I've never even had a girlfriend." He blushed.

"Really?" She was genuinely shocked, "You mean to tell me the famous Adrien Agreste has never had a girlfriend?" She joked.

"Nope." He smiled.

Once they finished the paper and croissants they continued to laugh and joke. There was a buzz coming from Adrien's pocket. He fished his phone out.

"Oh I have to go. I'm late for a photoshoot." He said frantically standing up and grabbing his things. "Thank you Marinette. I'll see you tomorrow at school." He flashed her a smiled and left.

Adrien laid in bed. A smile stamped on his face. Oh Ladybug is the greatest. He stared at his phone, rereading old texts like an obsessed fangirl.

💬Hey bugaboo. If you're not asleep, wanna talk? -ChatNoir

He was satisfied with himself. He looked at the time on his phone. 12:14am. Oh well, he'd just be tired tomorrow at school. He turned his phone off after not getting a message, assuming she's already asleep. He laid down on his pillow.
His phone dinged and his screen lit up. Speedily he sat up, reached for his phone, and unlocked it to see the text.

💬Hey Kitty. I'm blaming you if I fall asleep in class tomorrow. -Ladybug.

Oh she is so perfect. He thought to himself, hugging his phone.

💬How was your day? -ChatNoir

💬It was good. I am very bad at chemistry. XD -Ladybug

He smiled.

💬I doubt it. You're too perfect. ;) -ChatNoir

💬Ha! I wish Kitty. -Ladybug
💬So how's your girlfriend? -Ladybug

💬M'lady you know all too well I don't have one. -ChatNoir

💬You should work on that. :) -Ladybug

💬Okay, wanna be my girlfriend;). -ChatNoir

💬Silly Kitty -Ladybug
💬It's getting late. I'm going to bed. Goodnight Chat. -Ladybug

💬Goodnight, LB -ChatNoir

He sighed and looked at the time 1:32am. He turned his phone off and fell asleep quick enough.

Marinette's eyes fluttered open and she looked at her alarm clock. She instantly shot up. 7:58am. She ran to her closet throwing on a pink hoodie and black leggings and a pair of sneakers. She brushed her hair quickly ran out the door.
Arriving to school she regretted not grabbing anything to eat. She opened the door to the classroom, making everyone in the class look at her. Chloè scoffed then tried to hide her giggle behind her hand. "How pathetic" Chloè whisper to Sabrina.
Her head dropped and she proceeded to go to her desk. "Thanks for joining us Marinette. That's the second time this week." Marinette sunk into her chair.

(Time skip to lunch because I'm lazy)

Marinette yawned.

"Girl you seem to yawn every time I see you."

"I haven't noticed." She yawned the words out again. Alya rolled her eyes.

"You need more sleep."

Adrien and Nino sat down. Adrien letting out a yawn. "Now you're yawning." Alya three her hands up in the air. "Do neither one of you get any sleep?" Adrien and Marinette made eye contact then laughed a little.

"I suppose not." Marinette giggled.

(Another time skip due to laziness)

Marinette walked into her writing class and got into her seat. She was early. (Surprising) So she got out her sketch book and began to sketch and scribble a design.
When she finished up her design she picked the paper up and looked at it, satisfied and happy with it. Doing so she realized that the class had filled up. She closed her sketchbook quickly and shoved it into her school bag.

"What was that?" She heard a certain blonde boy ask. She tinged pink.

"I-uh. It's just my sketchbook." She said a little embarrassed.

"Don't be embarrassed. Can I see some of your designs?" He asked.

"I mean...uh sure." She reaches for her book. ADRIEN FREAKING AGRESTE wants to see my designs. Son of the famous GABRIEL AGRESTE. She internally screamed. She took a deep breath and composed herself. She opened it to some of her best designs. He flipped through it in awe.

"These are REALLY good." He stressed. "Wow you are so talented." He gushed. She turned a slight pink color.

"Th-thank you." She stuttered cursing herself in her head. The teacher asked for each person's project. Adrien and the rest of the class went up to the front to turn them in. Marinette was flipping through her binder searching for her paper. She swore it was there. Granted she hadn't seen it since Adrien was over, but she was sure she put it in her binder. She couldn't find it. She started to panic.

"Marinette are you okay?" Adrien whispered.

"I can't find it. I swear I put it in here." Adrien turned around and looked through his folder to make sure he didn't take it. He picked up a paper without his handwriting on it.

"Found it." He turned at gave it to her. She sighed in relief. She came around and hugged him.

"Ah, you're my hero." She smiled and clapped joyfully. She ran up to the front and turned it in. Adrien sat down, blushing at her comment. Chloé turned around and gave Marinette eyes. She was at first confused then realized what she did. She became bright red and put her face down.

A/N: Thank you for reading this chapter. I didn't really know how to end this, but I hope this is okay. I'll try and get chapter 4 out soon.
